Answer:
A perfectly elastic demand curve means that the firm can sell as much output as it chooses at the current price.
Explanation:
The perfectly elastic demand implies that the demand curve is horizontal line parallel to the X axis. The price is fixed at a point and the firm can sell any amount of output at this point. The demand is infinite at the given price level. If the firm makes any changes in this price level, the demand will become zero.
Answer:
Lake's operating income is $120000
Explanation:
Operating income is the income generated by the operations of company less its operating cost. Another name that is used for operating income is Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT). The charges or income relating to non operating or financing activities is not included in the operating income and nor is the tax deduction included.
The formula for operating income = Sales - Cost of Sales - operating expenses.
The operating expenses here, are = Advertising + Salaries + Utilities
Thus, operating expenses = 60000 + 55000 + 25000 = $140000
The Operating Income = 440000 - 180000 - 140000 = $120000

Explanation:
Cognitive dissonance is a psychological notion when an individual experiences thoughts and emotions that are not consistent (no matter the environment).

Answer:
It is cheaper to make the part in house.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Harrison Enterprises currently produces 8,000 units of part B13.
Current unit costs for part B13 are as follows:
Direct materials $12
Direct labor 9
Factory rent 7
Administrative costs 10
General factory overhead (allocated) 7
Total $45
If Harrison decides to buy part B13, 50% of the administrative costs would be avoided.
To calculate whether it is better to make the par in-house or buy, we need to determine which costs are unavoidable.
Unavoidable costs:
Factory rent= 7
Administrative costs= 5
General factory overhead= 7
Total= 17
Now, we can calculate the unitary cost of making the product in-house:
Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + avoidable administrative costs
Unitary cost= 7 + 5 + 5= $17
It is cheaper to make the part in house.
